As librarian
Gloria Mundy in Foul Play, Goldie Hawn gives her address as 430
Vallejo Street, second floor apartment. The 1978 comedy caper from writer/director
Colin Higgins stars Hawn with Chevy Chase, Dudley Moore, and Burgess Meredith.
Gloria is a damsel in distress when her date drops dead after leaving her
a roll of film and a cryptic clue. Just short of a screwball comedy, Foul
Play works because of Goldie's charm. This is another film in which San
Francisco rises above a location and seemingly becomes a character in the
story. Chase is the detective who saves Goldie and ultimately thwarts an
assassination attempt on the Pope - played by legendary San Franciscan
Cyril
Magnin! Locations include Pacific Heights, Upper
Fort Mason, City Hall rotunda,
and others including a daytime car chase. Makes a great double feature
with the all-out screwball comedy,
What's Up Doc.
